I want to thank Tammy, and all the mods of BDW, i dont know where i would be without this site...i also want to thank all the lovely ladies on the site, with all of your ideas, feed back, help.. it's truly made a big difference in my wedding planning. sit back and hang on theres ALOT of pictures lol. there are some things that are already packed away that i dont have pictures of but i will post them i'm sure in my review. i leave January 5th for a 14 day vaca + wedding to Barcelo maya Colonial in the Mayan Riviera we will be married on jan 11 2011

We Met. Sept 2002

i came home from grade 7 and told my mom i found the one i wanted to spend the rest of my life with, she laughed and said yes hunny, i'm sure. Tyler and i dated on and off for 4 years, and on for the last 4 years, so like 8 years of my only 21 year old life!! lol

Engaged. July 30 2007

it's not a great omg engagment, really. i was at my mom's visiting her for the day, and Ty called me and said to me that he had bought me earing cause he knew i always wanted them. big flashy diamond earrings .. so when i got home he asked me if i wanted to go for a nice dinner, and on sunday at 7pm i was exahusted and said nah, let go to Mc Dicks, lol.. he tried to talk me out of it but i really just wanted junk for dinner... anyways we ate and got home and had a hot shower like always, put my jammies on, obvisouly hair in a wet pony tail, no makeup, looked like poop, and he said bunny, do u want your earrings? and i said oh yeaaa!! gimmie gimmie and when i turned over he was on one knee and he said somthing like " i want to spend the rest of my life with you" and thats all i remember......

Boudoir Photos

These are a wedding gift for my FH, jennifer williams also did these amazing photos, sorry these pictures are just taking with my iphone camera + crappy light, i havent put the disk she gave me on the computer cause i know a sneeky little boy that likes to snoop.... i got a flush mount 8x8 book with about 40 pictures in the book, with the disk + a lil cute flip book... i plan on giving this to him the morning of the wedding, and i blieve he will shit... he's been asking me for "sexy" pictures FOREVER.

Hotel + Travel Agency

we choose Vicki Woolger from Cruise Express, she was amazing and has just been so easy to work with since i met her... we choose the hotel after many many many searches, we are very close with our families so we knew we wanted osmthing very kid friendly and still had that charm we were looking for, so we choose Barcelo Maya Colonial, Mayan Riviera
